Planned Features

Planned

Plumbing

• [ ] Use an nginx proxy in gitpod development (removes the need for the backend to be "public" due to cors issues)
• [x] Convert docker build to alpine
• [x] Uninstall development node modules after building in Dockerfile
• [x] Give spawned docker containers names that represent they are for backups
• [ ] Restrict to only one backup/restore at a time per volume
• [ ] Manage start/stop of container state when multiple backups are happening at once for the same containers
• [ ] Change all "importVolume" / "exportVolume" terminology to the much less confusing "restoreVolume" / "backupVolume"
• [ ] Remove camelCaseObj utility for a more type safe option.

Deployment

• [x] Docker hub build

General

• [x] Better date/time displays on frontend (show in user's time zone and maybe use relative times, eg "2 days ago")
• [ ] Allow configuring the backup file name format globally (currently ${volumeName}--${Date.now()}.tgz)
• [ ] Allow navigating away from <Task> components without aborting the task (especially for backup file download)
• [ ] If only one storage has been added, default to selecting that storage in the UI
• [ ] Show errors throughout the UI if no storage systems have been configured, and suggest the user to add one
• [ ] Show errors throughout the UI if there are no volumes

Volumes

• [x] Show which containers a volume is attached to
• [x] Automatically update container states on frontend using subscriptions

Volume Backup

• [x] Backup progress bar
• [ ] ETA for backup
• [x] Allow stopping/starting attached containers before/after backup
• [x] Error if file already exists
• [ ] Instead of erroring if file exists, append (2),(3),(4),etc.

Volume Restore

• [x] Restore progress bar
• [ ] ETA for restore
• [x] Allow stopping/starting attached containers before/after restore
• [x] Allow reordering backup files by name, size, modified
• [x] Show more information on backup file selection (modified date, size)
• [x] Paginate file selection

Schedules Page

• [x] Allow stopping/starting attached containers before/after backup
• [x] Show when next backup will happen
• [ ] Schedule history log showing successful/failed backup attempts
• [ ] Option to only store X number of backups.
• [x] Provide better interface for the backup interval (providing hours may not be good enough)
• [x] Allow configuring the backup file name format per schedule
• [ ] Add "Run Now" button to schedule page
• [ ] Add option to abort scheduled backup if it takes too long

Storage Page

• [ ] Report error when failing to add new storage

Storage Types

• [x] Allow configuring and adding multiple local storage

Storage Info

• [x] Default to sorting by date modified
• [x] Allow reordering backup table by name, size, modified
• [x] Pagination for long backup file lists
• [x] Show total number of files (and how many "filtered" results)
• [ ] Clean up downloads from the file system after some time (a week, probably)
• [x] Show progress bar when downloading a file from a remote source
• [x] Bulk file option (select multiple files and "Delete All")
• [ ] Add "Select This Page" / "Deselect This Page" buttons (in addition to "Select All" / "Deselect All")

S3 Buckets

• [ ] Add a "Test" button to test if s3 bucket is configured properly
• [x] Add info detailing which AMI permissions are required

FTP

• [ ] Add a "Test" button to test if ftp server is configured properly
• [ ] Reuse FTP client to avoid "too many users logged in" FTP error

Future / Maybe

General

• [ ] Remote docker hosts

Volumes

• [ ] Show volume size (not possible through docker API? maybe possible some other way)
